Setting up an old SCSI drive, need config help

I have an Adaptec AHA-2940W PCI SCSI card. There are no jumpers on the card. Connected to the card is a single cable, the cable itself only has one other plug and that is connected to a Seagate Barracuda drive. Drive config is here:

http://www.seagate.com/support/disc/scsi/st32550n.html

Right now I have the drive setup as device 0, with termination enabled on the drive. I've tried it both with and without termination, and each time when I try to boot the PC hangs after it detects the drive.

Anyone have some insight on what I need to do to get this running? Nearly 0 SCSI experience here.
 
You say it hangs when it detects the drive. What tells you that it is detecting the drive ?

What do you have set as your first boot device in BIOS ?

 
When the SCSI card does its POST, it detects the drive with the model number and all.

Moot point anywho, since the drive is dead 😱

Helps if they actually spin up. I figured since it was seeing the drive that it must work. On to drive #2!

Stay tuned, who knows what will happen next.
 
Have you looked at page 39 of the instructions on your link regarding termination ?


Actually, if your is N model, I think it would be page 34, but I think instruction is still probably the same.
